2014 Resolutions: 2 Things We Need to Pursue For 2014

2014 resolutions! In this new year, there are two things I’m wishing for myself that I’m also wishing for you:

For a happier life.

2014 resolutions for a more peaceful life

1. Pursue joy.
2. Pursue simplicity.

Pursue joy. Pursue experiences that bring you happiness — begin by spending more time with people you love, spending more time away from the work desk. Delete emotional vampires from your life — start by erasing unnecessary contacts from your mobile phone. Follow people who make you happy, learn from them. Find peace.

Pursue simplicity. Do a clean sweep of your home. Take away all contents of a shelf and only return what are essential. Lessen retail purchases, increase buying time for yourself and creating new experiences.

Let’s help each other pursue joy and simplicity this year. Both will certainly bring us a wonderful, peaceful 2014.

Happy new year!
